Jade

Mixed Breed · Female

Jade is a confident female dog born in November 2021 looking for a calm home of her own. Her breed is not fully known, but she most resembles an American Staffordshire terrier. Jade was very unfamiliar with people when she came to the shelter, but has become much more confident and has learned to trust people. She dares to wander a bit with the people she is most familiar with. With strangers she still thinks a bit, but Jade will definitely come confidently to greet everyone. Sleeping next to a person on the couch and walking through the forest underbrush is the best thing for Jade. The forest outside is clearly the safest environment for her, and passing traffic with cars still causes her quite a bit of stress. Passing cyclists, hikers, and pheasants that suddenly jump out from the reeds have interested her greatly, but there was no real need to react to them. Since especially the busier outside world still bothers the girl, we don't think Jade would suit apartment life in the center of a city. Traveling by car is still being learned, but she has managed to go smoothly in the transport crate. However, Jade herself does not want to go into the car yet, and must be carried to the kennel. Jade has been found to have some food allergies, for example to poultry. She is currently eating hypoallergenic food and through various raw meals we have gradually figured out which proteins suit Jade. Attention should also be paid to feeding in the future home. We don't know how Jade reacts to children. She clearly values peace and wants to move away from noise. Jade is often in office tasks with us. We have noticed that on days when people are moving back and forth more, Jade does not enjoy the company, but wants to go back to her own room. For this reason, the best home for Jade could be a calm home with adult people. Jade is very cautious towards other dogs at the shelter. We don't fully know how she will cope with other dogs, but initially she is looking for a home where she can be the only dog. Attitude towards cats is also unknown. Jade's price is 700 €. Jade is looking for her forever home in Onnentassa, Riihimäki.

FI·Show original

Jade on marraskuussa 2021 syntynyt valloittava tyttökoira, joka etsii rauhallista kotia itselleen. Jaden roduista ei täysin ole tietoa, mutta lähinnä se muistuttaa amerikanstaffordshirenbullterrieriä. Jade oli hyvin ihmiseen tottumaton talolle tullessaan, mutta on reipastunut huomattavasti ja oppinut luottamaan ihmisiin. Tutuimpien ihmisten kanssa uskalletaan jo hieman irroitella. Vieraampien ihmisten kanssa vielä hieman mietitään, mutta Jade kyllä tulee reippaana moikkaamaan kaikkia. Sohvalla ihmisen vieressä nukkuminen ja metsien pöpeliköissä suhaaminen on Jaden mielestä kaikkein parasta. Ulkona metsä on ympäristönä selkeästi kaikista turvallisimman oloinen, ohi menevä liikenne autoineen jännittää vielä kovin. Ohi kulkeva pyöräilijä, sauvakävelijä sekä kuonon edestä pyrähtäneet fasaanit kiinnostivat kovasti, mutta näihin ei sen kummemmin tarvinnut reagoida. Koska varsinkin vilkaampi ulkomaailma kummaksuttaa tyttöä vielä, emme usko että Jade soveltuisi ihan kaupungin keskustan kerrostaloelämään. Autossa matkustamista vielä opetellaan, mutta kuljetushäkissä sekin on sujunut ongelmitta. Jade ei kuitenkaan itse halua mennä vielä autoon, vaan hänet on kannettava häkissä sinne. Jadella on todettu joitakin ruoka-aineherkkyyksiä, esimerkiksi siipikarjaa kohtaan. Hän syö tällä hetkellä hyporuokaa ja erilaisilla raakapullilla olemme selvittäneet pikkuhiljaa mitkä proteiinit sopivat Jadelle. Ruokintaan tuleekin kiinnittää tulevassa kodissa myös huomiota. Emme tiedä miten Jade reagoi lapsiin. Hän selkeästi arvostaa rauhaa ja haluaa hakeutua pois hälinästä. Jade on usein toimistohommissa kanssamme. Olemme huomanneet, että sellaisina päivinä kun ihmisiä ravaa edestakaisin enemmän Jade ei viihdy seurassa, vaan haluaa takaisin omaan huoneeseensa. Tästä syystä Jadelle paras koti voisi olla rauhallinen aikuisten ihmisten koti. Suhtautuu toisiin koiriin täällä talolla todella varauksellisesti. Emme tiedä täysin miten tulee toisten koirien kanssa toimeen, mutta lähtökohtaisesti etsii kotia missä saa olla ainoa koira. Suhtautuminen kissoihin ei ole myöskään tiedossa. Jaden hinta on 700 €. Jade etsii sitä loppuelämänsä kotia Onnentassussa Riihimäellä.

About Jade

What life with Jade looks like

Jade is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Eläinsuojelukeskus Onnentassu in Finland.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇫🇮Adopting from Finland

Finnish shelters require a home visit and an adoption contract. Animals are vetted; the EU pet passport covers cross-border travel within the bloc.

Frequently asked

Adopting Jade, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Jade?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Eläinsuojelukeskus Onnentassu handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Jade on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Jade if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Eläinsuojelukeskus Onnentassu will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Jade already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Jade isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Eläinsuojelukeskus Onnentassu early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jade and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (FI). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
